Strongman takes the stage with holiday themed events in a historic theater!

The festive feats of strength return for the third year, but this time we’ve got a new (and historic) location: on stage at The Majestic!  What started as a vaudeville theatre over 100 years ago, will now be home to 4 silly strongman events bursting with Christmas cheer! (Plus food and drinks to make a full day of merriment!)

Events

Reindeer Gainz Viking Press

Sure, the reindeer are magic, but they still need a boost to fly. That’s where you come in. You’ll Viking Press those guys as many times as possible in 60 seconds. Handles will be 24” apart, parallel/neutral grip, and you’ll be facing the implement.  Knee wraps, wrist wraps, and belts are fine. In the spirit of giving, double dips will be allowed.

Sleigh Squat

Time to test out Santa’s sleigh, and make sure it’s rooftop-ready! The sleigh will be on a frame behind you (we have modified last year’s Sleigh Deadlift frame to make it into a squat setup).   We’ll add weight 4 times, and if you’re still going, you can rep it out for the duration of the 60 seconds. This will just be for reps, no split times taken. Weight added will be 25 pounds each time. You will start at the top, and weight will be added at the top of each lift.  Depth will be around parallel (wait for judge's UP command), bar height adjusted accordingly.

Mega Marshmallow Toss

Santa has a big job, so he needs a big cup of cocoa! Your job is to toss three giant marshmallow sandbags over the candy cane bar to get his mug filled with the sugar he needs to fuel his journey. Split times will be taken, you’ll have 60 seconds to get all three mega mallows over the 10-12 foot high bar. (10 feet for women, 12 feet for men)

Santa’s Heave Ho Ho Ho

Prep the presents! Carry the coal! Santa needs everything ready for delivery. You’ll need to carry 3 sandbags 10-15 feet and load them over the 4 foot high fireplace mantle. Split times will be taken. Stage is carpeted, so traction shouldn’t be an issue.

This contest is sanctioned by United States Strongman, and is a qualifier for 2025 Nationals in Charlotte, NC.

If you’re new to our Christmas contests: Yes, these are seriously the events. You don’t have to use your imagination, there’s an actual sleigh LOL You can find photos and videos of previous Christmas comps on our social media pages, and we’ll post event updates there as well.
